A Modified Meiotic Recombination in <i>Brassica napus</i> Largely Improves Its Breeding Efficiency

Meiotic recombination is the main tool used by breeders to generate biodiversity, allowing genetic reshuffling at each generation. It enables the accumulation of favorable alleles while purging deleterious mutations. However, this mechanism is highly regulated with the formation of one to rarely mor...
